Lupin fell down from the hoverboard and grabbed his arm, "Motherfucker!"
That platinum blonde girl got down from her hoverboard. He lay on the floor and looked at her as she stood above his face. The night lights shone behind her, they were on a tower. The floor was made of stainless steel that reflected their bodies.
He held his breath as he looked at her, "So, why are we here? I thought I would be taken to the police station?"
She removed her wig and her side bangs and threw them aside. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue and her hair shone blonde. She shook her pony that fell till her hips. Lupin dragged himself away from her, sliding on the floor, his hands were still tied up, "Who are you?" He asked.
She looked down at him, "Veronique,"
He had found her faster than expected. She took a wallet in her hand, "Wait, that's mine!"
"I know," She said as she pulled out a driving licence, "Lupin Kuznetsov, 22, issued on 12 November 20XX. So, you're from the past?" She threw the licence away and pulled out her gun. Lupin got up and turned back to run.
She fired three shots at him without batting an eye. He stopped and closed his eyes, "So I just realised...that I have been shot,"
"Not yet,"
He opened his eyes and found Giles before him with a knife in her hand. She used that knife to deflect the bullet. She looked at Lupin and broke his shackles with his knife, "You just met that person which you were not supposed to meet the most,"
Veronique took her aim at Giles and shot. Giles jumped into the air and attacked Veronique. However, Veronique showed no signs of distress, panic or even stress. She just keeps firing and reloading her gun with the face of a corpse. Lupin looked at her, blue eyes fading to grey, pale skin, blonde lashes, pink knuckles, red lips like a sinking sun, she shot with no fear or doubt in her mind, as if she knew she just couldn't miss.
But Giles was a master assassin, she wasn't easy to kill.
Though, Veronique did not plan to kill her.
Giles landed on the steel floor and ran towards Veronique. Suddenly, she felt herself slowing down. Veronique was right before her, but she seemed far away from her reach, as minutes turned to hours, and then to days, she slowly froze and Veronique kept a gun on her right temple.
As the gun went through her skull, blood sprayed all over the walls, the floor, over Veronique's feminine face. Her gun was smeared in thick, luscious bloody. Her face had droplets of blood all over it, the other side of Giles' head exploded and slowly like a warrior on a battlefield, she rested her heavy body into her own blood.
Veronique turned back. Lupin was gone.
He ran down the tower staircase, tears still wet on his cheeks, his body trembling from what he just saw, his heart beating into his head, he felt certain nausea on his temple, right where she kept that gun on Giles, the huge spray of blood from Giles' head, her eyes rolling back the moment she shot her, that gun dripping with blood, those cold blue eyes looking at him, knowing he was next. That woman,
Did she just effortlessly kill an assassin?
As he ran, he heard footsteps. Relaxed footsteps as if on a stroll. He ran towards a dark room inside the tower and looked around, he heard voices of a knife. At a distance, he could see Giles, chopping something on a wooden board. He walked towards her, "You are still alive?" He looked over her shoulder.
She was chopping her own fingers,
"What are you doing-"
She turned towards him, blood on her face, white eyeballs and a huge hole on her temple. He shrieked and ran away. It was dark, he couldn't see where he was or where he was going. He bumped into something and the lights above blinked, he ran towards the very edge of the tower and looked about 100 feet below. He could see the entire New York city before him and when he turned back, Veronique stood before him with a gun in her hand.
